• Recapping Penn State's win over Cornell on Wednesday, The Sports Jags on Yardbarker.com writes:
  

Sure, Cornell is an Ivy League school, and everyone knows the Big Red are more concerned with flux capacitors than athletics, but Cornell is about as good as it gets when it comes to Ivy League basketball. The Big Red are in a bit of a down year but they’ve been the Ivy representitive in the tournament three of the last four years, including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2010, so Penn State’s 74-67 win last night is still worth mentioning for Patrick Chambers’ rebuild.
